Rooted in western Kentucky, The Damn Shames are an unapologetic set of true rockers who have turned more inward to their country and wooded upbringing. An almighty show of Rock n' Roll delivered on the breath of that classic southern swagger we all know and love, mixed with country flavors that give a little extra pop to honest, heartfelt lyrics. Not to only be a songwriter, Clayton Crowder (lead vocals/guitar) fronts the band with vigorous command leading the listener through a whirlwind of bangers, anthems and sweet ballads with masterful storytelling. Taking care of guitar shredding desires, Trevor Smith (lead guitar/background vocals) fires on all cylinders with fierce delivery of slick licks that soar with glorious tone. Pumping out the low end, Andrew Hopper (bass/background vocals) knows exactly what it means to be an expert bassist in a country/southern rock band by walkin' that bass line right on down Main Street. With drummer Zach Coffey having the bar band/honky tonk experience down to a science, he's always keeping the line straight and the groove bouncing. Recently added to the team is the exceptional Shepherd Hieb. Brought in as an auxiliary musician, Shep brings the vibes with beautiful pedal steel, mandolin, banjo, and slide guitar. If the song calls for it, he's got it covered. The real treat is the Eagles-like vocal harmonies that fill every song — inducing chills and goosebumps every time. Great songs and excellent musicianship is a package deal, and these boys sure can deliver.
